Have you applied it to your own beliefs? Which ones? Do you no longer believe in them?

• lacampbell 10y ago
  I have. I'm not going to mention which ones as that would cheapen the general message, which is bigger than politics. And yes, I no longer believe them.

    No it wouldn't cheapen the message, it would illustrate it. I'm also curious which ones.

      I've got two for you, from both sides: "Fake News" and "Muslim Ban".

      'Cheapen' might not be the right word but it wouldn't certainly tend to hijack it. As soon as you get specific people start debating the specifics.

        The devil is in the details.

    What about your current beliefs? Why not apply it to them too?

  Triangulation. Take in news sources from opposite sides of the political (scientific etc) spectrum and take them all in in equal size/depth. They'll repeat their own message to make you believe you are "on the right side of the issue" but with triangulation both brainwashing attempts cancel out.

    My only problem with that is that I get frustrated and contrarian with every side.

      I think that's a positive. More Socratic.
